    Counting Atoms

    Lesson Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to give students the basic understanding
    of how atoms build molecules and then take this concept to apply it to how molecules
    can be broken down into their atoms, and the atoms can then be counted, as a segway
    into chemical bonding.
    Student Outcomes:
    Describe and explain the role of collecting evidence, finding relationships, and
    proposing explanations in the development of the periodic table. (109-2)
    Identify examples of common elements and compare their characteristics and
    atomic structure. (307-15)
    Identify the elements and number of atoms, given a chemical formula. (307-16)
    Authentic Student Assessment: Following the completion of this unit, students will be
    assessed summatively on this outcome in the form of a test. During the lesson, students
    will demonstrate knowledge based on how accurately they have previously completed
    the Element Periodic Table guide. Observational assessment will be noted formatively
    but not summatively recorded based upon how students interact as a team (learner
    profile), preparedness (learner profile), and comprehension and demonstration of
    outcomes in relation to atoms/elements/protons/neutrons/electrons/atomic calculations.
    Students will show their understanding by participating in the Jeopardy game.
    Prior Knowledge: It is expected that students have previously been introduced to atoms
    both previously in this unit, and also in Science 7 and Science 8. Students will have a
    basic knowledge of the periodic table and how to use it. Students are familiar with the
    concept of elements and the use of the periodic table from the Adopt an Element
    Project they previously completed. Students have also completed 4 previous activities
    in this class based upon atomic calculations. Students have been exposed to Mendeleev
    and his contributions to the periodic table as we see it today.
    Lesson:
    Students will be expected to complete fill-in-the-blanks on the notes sheet
    during the direct instruction.
    Following this, together as a class, we will work through direct instruction on
    Counting Atoms.
    As a class, we will be working through many examples together.
    Students will have the opportunity to read aloud Dr. Birdly on Atoms and
    Molecule.
    Students will spend the rest of class working on the practice sheets for counting
    atoms.
    Near the end of class, we will correct the sheets together by playing Jeopardy
    using the previously created template.

    Closure:
    A winner will be declared for the Jeopardy game, and students will be reminded
    of their upcoming expectations and due dates (quiz, lab, binder check).
    Professional Growth Target:
    Identify students in each particular class who require extra attention and begin
    to come up with unique strategies on how to personally assist them.
